The hallmark of an LLM response: plausible sounding, but if you dig deeper, incorrect

> You're squandering precious meeting time by having everyone sit and read a document together. They could easily do the same thing ahead of the meeting, and you'd have much shorter meetings.

People don’t read ahead of meetings, and that results in wasting time discussing things already covered by docs.

Israel is directly causing a mass starvation event in Gaza. Innocent children and women are dying every single day, and if nothing is done soon, scores more will in the near future.

The commenter’s position is that the situation in Gaza is justifiable because Israel had to take action against Hamas.

This is textbook collective punishment: causing suffering to a massive number of people due to the actions of a minority.

People are arguing for an unconditional ceasefire because innocent people and children are literally starving to death.

Many of the people arguing for ceasefire probably wouldn’t be so animated about it if that wasn’t the case, i.e. if Israel was conducting a legal war with targeted strikes. That isn’t the case.

It’s weird to me that the providers aren’t communicating to customers about this. What if you were waiting for a call from a doctor, or similar?

Nice bait

This isn’t a whole-cloud outage. It’s not even a whole-region outage.

Whole-cloud outages are pretty damn rare. The recent GCP issues are an exception to the general rule.

I’d posit that the complexity of a multi-cloud setup is generally going to reduce your service’s reliability more than relying on a single cloud does.

For what it’s worth, I’m a native British English speaker and don’t instinctively consider “practice” “grammatically incorrect”. Indeed, I would probably write “practice” myself.

In this phase of flight the pilot’s hands should be nowhere near the thrust levers let alone the fuel cutoff switches. There is no way they could accidentally knock them with their hands.

Being a professional pilot while also being able to put together such a polished software project like this is incredibly impressive

I mean, I hate to be cliched, but correlation does not imply causation. There are many possible confounding factors that could be at play here.

> Often, the reason they are unstable is because they are homeless

I think a more common situation is that they are on the street because they are unstable, but being on the street makes it much worse.

Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked, have been sacked.

YouTube was down for me for some time

Good logs do

“CTO” (subtext: “the engineer”)

This isn’t even HR’s job. It’s the person’s manager’s job.

Did you get the job?

> The really interesting part of this issue is, that under most jurisdictions it probably won't even qualify as hacking

You clearly aren’t familiar with how broad the Computer Misuse Act is

Edinburgh is morr commonly pronounced “edinbruh”.

Southwark is “suh-thuk”. Salisbury “sorlsbry”. Norwich “norrich”.

This is just incompetence on the part of the person deploying this solution. Just because AWS say “don’t deploy to management account” doesn’t mean you should a deploy something with access to all your accounts into a dev account.

This is a mirror, not the upstream

This is super cool, thank you.
